ABSTRACT
Anterior segment stem cell technology, due to its already well-defined corneal limbal stem cells with greater ease of evaluation, has been at the forefront of ophthalmic stem cell treatment and technology since 1997. This paper provides an overview of the current standard of care for treatment of limbal stem-cell deficient conditions and reviews recent treatment technologies using ex vivo expansion of cultivated limbal stem cells of the cornea
